|  | | KICKING IT OLD SCHOOL | | Why I'm So Glad My Kids Had A Lazy, Camp-Free Summer | “The summer activity and camp planning conversations started in March amongst most of my mom-peers,” writes Samm Davidson today. “For some, signing their kids up for all the things is a necessary way to procure childcare, as their daycare programs are closed for the summer. But others might just want to maintain some daily structure, increase socialization, not miss out. Then there are the people who fear their 8-year-old needs to practice their soccer skills to stay competitive for soccer this fall.” Not Samm, though. She decided to go old-school this year and keep the summer activities to a bare minimum. And now she’s looking back on just how great it went. Worth reading and thinking about as we reach — gasp! — the tail end of summer. Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor | |
